Sony Xperia M has been announced just recently and the smartphone packs in some really good specs and features. The smartphone comes with a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen and a 1 GHz dual-core processor. The smartphone do come with some good features but to use it to the fullest, you must root the device.

You can now root Sony Xperia M with the help of the Framaroot app developed Alephzain, a senior member at XDA. This app uses the Gandalf exploit to root your smartphone. You can follow the procedure below to root Sony Xperia M using the Framaroot App.
